I Got a Dog! Meet Raleigh

I finally did it! Meet Raleigh, the four-month-old Catahoula Leopard Dog, that is now my own. While I've had dogs growing up, Raleigh is my first dog. Despite our initial hiccups with accidents, he may be the world's best-behaved puppy; though I'm biased. It's our third week together, and we're accident-free! Who knew I could be so excited over these things?

Yesterday, I took Raleigh to Pennsylvania with me to hike Pinnacle Overlook with Meeko and Julianne. I let him roam free! He followed along and chased after Meeko for hours. I was so surprised because I have never had such a loyal dog!

I have not enjoyed a workout like that in months. It was so rewarding climbing back up the mountain. It was such a successful and wonderful hike, that I already highlighted all my upcoming days off in my calendar, hoping to hike more.
